  • Bret Michaels Announces “Unbroken: Then, Now And Forever” Biopic And Book

    “‘UNBROKEN: Then, Now and Forever’ – the biopic and the book officially coming 2026. If I can survive rocking out on shag mustard-colored carpet on my first guitar (‘technically a ukulele’ lol) and remain as excited now as I was then, and survive the highs, the lows, good people and the downright maliciousness in the business I’ve chosen to be in and still get to rock with my friends with a smile on my face on the stage today. That is THE IT FACTOR – the intangible spirit that keeps me unbroken!!!”

  • Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine Earns Black Belt In Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

    Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine has officially earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The news was confirmed by the 64-year-old’s trainer Reginaldo Almeida.

    Almeida said the following:

    “Today wasn’t just a belt promotion… it was a day that touched my heart.

    Watching these six men earn their Black Belts was emotional for me — because I know their stories, their struggles, their sacrifices, and everything they had to overcome to stand on those mats today.

    Each one of them showed up on days when life was heavy…
    on days when they were tired…
    on days when quitting would’ve been easier.

    But they kept going.

    That’s what makes a Black Belt. Not talent. Not strength.

    Heart. Consistency. Humility.

    To you six, Dave, Kyle, George, Ken, Michael and Jordan — I’m proud of you not just as athletes, but as men.

    You’ve grown as teammates, training partners, leaders, and examples for our whole academy.
    Seeing you tie that belt around your waist today meant more to me than you know.

    And to the rest of the team:

    Thank you for the energy, the support, the love, and for creating an environment where moments like this are possible. Our academy is not just a place to train — it’s a family.

    Congratulations, my brothers.
    Enjoy this moment… you earned every inch of it.

    Proud of every one of you.
    OSS”
